Hello all, and especially the avid argumentative people,
The Technion debate club has offered to organize a show-debate on the
subject of FOSS vs. proprietary software. They can try and ask
well-known people on the industry to represent the proprietary side,
if we take the FOSS side.
A debate is a formal argument, with judges who decide who won. Each
team has 3 speakers, each speaker gets 7 minutes. Since probably
neither side is familiar with the rules nor the techniques of
debating, people from the Technion debate club and from the HaifaU
debate club are willing to assist/take part in the debate.
My hope is that, no matter who "wins" in the debate, such a
show-debate will increase awareness to FOSS in general and to Haifux
specifically, and also trigger a live and healthy discussion on the
debated matter.
So what is there to do?
1. At this point we need volunteers to take part in the debate on the
FOSS side.
How I wish I had the time to volunteer. Good luck, everyone.
